Vajara
Vajara〔"Vajara" seems to be the English name that the band itself prefers in its promotional material. See the eponymous album covers: (cover )()〕 (; ) is Tibet's oldest and most famous rock and roll band.〔 Founded in 1999 by six Tibetan people,〔 the band creates modern music with elements from Tibetan opera, blues, and rap.〔〔 Tenzin Dawa, the band's founder, was influenced by both Chinese rock acts such as Cui Jian and American rock bands like Nirvana but desired to forge a style separate from either genre.〔 Vajara's songs are sung in both Tibetan and Chinese,〔 with lyrical themes that address social issues such as greed and environmentalism.〔 The band's main performing venue is a musical bar in Tibet's provincial capital of Lhasa.〔
==Style==
Vajara's musical style originates from the popular practices of young people on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.〔 Vajara's founder and drummer, Tenzin Dawa (Bstan a'dzin Zla ba), was influenced by the music of Cui Jian, U2, Nirvana, and Metallica. Many Vajara songs incorporate elements from Tibetan folk music, including Tibetan opera, including heavy bass lines and throat singing.〔〔 Lyrically, Vajara's originally-written songs covers themes of environmental protection, animal rights, and opposition to materialism.〔 The band's intent, according to its founder, is to spread awareness not only about issues relevant to the Tibetan ethnic group, but also about issues common to humanity in general.
